SimCentric Technologies launchFires Basic Skills Trainer (BST)

For over a decade SimCentric has provided sought after expertise for the military simulation and software industry.

SimCentric Technologies currently provides comprehensive Surface and Aerial Fires training and mission rehearsal software at the forefront of NATO and ABCA accredited military training continuums through our FiresIDF, FiresFST and FiresPRO applications.

Delivering maximized, targeted value for our military users, SimCentric Technologies is proud to announce the release of our Fires Basic Skills Trainer (BST) application. Ensuring maximum value and flexibility for our user community, FiresBST retains the high fidelity, quality, doctrinal compliance (NATO and Commonwealth) and visual augmentation aides of our flagship products, whilst delivering an intuitive and easy to use workflow tailored for all corps, individual skills in the application of surface fires.

SimCentric Senior Director – North America, Mr Lee Power, a former Instructor at the US Fires Center of Excellence, commented “We understand that militaries need to match expenditure to the generation of military capability. While our flagship applications remain the solution of choice to Joint Fires specialists across the world, FiresBST will allow the same quality of product to be used now by non-Fires specialists such as Infantry, Armor, and Military Police, and at much lower cost to meet their basic requirements for foundation soldier skills training and testing requirements.” Mr Power said.

“This ensures that we can enable the safe employment of combat power across the entire deployed force, whilst enabling flexibility and modularity for military and industry alike in delivering training solutions. A key benefit of this approach is that our user community can train efficiently in both stand-alone and instructor led configurations, and can upgrade at any time as required, retaining the same workflows and training interfaces. This delivers flexibility, scalability and training standardisation for our user community.” Mr Power said.

SimCentric Technologies are focussed on enabling the safe employment of your combat power. When safety is on the line, only the very best training solution will suffice.

SimCentric targeting Live Fire Fratricide Risk Reduction

SimCentric are targeting the reduction of fratricide risk in live field firing by launching SAF-Foresight at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) 2018 in Orlando, Florida, 26 – 30 November 2018.

SimCentric Vice President Strategy, Mr Gareth Collier commented “Complex live fire military training incorporating combined arms, simultaneous manoeuvre and night serials is inherently dangerous. Modern militaries are still only able to apply human judgement and intervention to mitigate potentially catastrophic risks. SAF-Foresight represents a quantum leap in safety and fratricide risk reduction for live fire military training” Mr Collier said.

“We are continuing a very aggressive roadmap into 2019 in conjunction with our various military stakeholders, with our goal being to help bring all soldiers home safely from every training activity.” Mr Collier said.

An early adopter of SAF-Foresight has included the Royal Australian Army Director of Land Simulation, Lieutenant Colonel Jason Mildon, who says SAF-Foresight represents the next step in the Australian Army’s modernisation of its Land Range and Target Systems, “Developed in conjunction with Subject Matter Experts from the School of Infantry and the Combined Arms Training Centre, SAF-Foresight will support the rapid, accurate generation of the complex live fire activities and range design required to support the effective preparation of our Land Forces,” according to Mildon.

In development for over a year in conjunction with key stakeholders across ABCA and NATO nations, SAF-Foresight is a live fire exercise planning, management, visualization, briefing, risk mitigation, and safety alert intervention tool aimed at the reduction of fratricide risk in live fire military training.

SimCentric Safety and Accreditation Solutions shine at I/ITSEC 2018

For over a decade SimCentric has provided sought after expertise for the military simulation and software industry.

Leading on from major recent procurements by ADF and USSOCOM of SimCentric’s safety and accreditation software, SimCentric Technologies concluded a highly successful I/ITSEC 2018 in Orlando, 26-29 Nov 2018.

SimCentric’s Joint Fires software was once again demonstrated as the mature, incumbent and accredited Joint Fires solution for the VBS environment, supporting both VBS3 and the live VBS STE and VBS Blue IG central demonstrations on the Bohemia Interactive Simulations booth. Additionally, the versatility of SAFFIRESTM, SimCentric’s engine agnostic standards-based Joint Fires solution was shown integrated with a variety of other simulation environments and Image Generators (including Unreal, Unity, VR-Vantage and SpatialOS) throughout the show floor.

SimCentric also launched its fratricide risk reduction and range planning software SAF-ForesightTM to widespread interest from military and industry alike.

Delivering white paper presentations on architectures to reduce live fire fratricide risk, and also enhancing realism through Megacity replication in synthetic environments, SimCentric continues to drive the agenda as thought leaders in the use of safe, accredited simulation-based training to deliver tangible military capability.

USSOCOM Select FiresFST For Accredited JTAC Training

For over a decade SimCentric has provided sought after expertise for the military simulation and software industry.

US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) have awarded SimCentric Technologies a fixed price contract for FiresFST, enabling US Army SOF and Naval Special Warfare Command units to train multiple JTACs in individual and collective training proficiencies, successfully achieving certification for 18 personnel.

SimCentric Senior Director – North America, Mr Lee Power commented “We are thrilled at being the training solution of choice for US Special Operations Command. Using FiresFST, trainees were able to achieve formal certification whilst executing advanced and tactically realistic training serials.”

“The incorporation of complex indirect surface fires, including naval surface fires, close air support, video downlink integration and remote observer integration in a near-peer coalition environment maximises capability preparedness and survivability for our US SOF personnel. We were particularly pleased at the feedback from Instructors on the relative ease of use of our software, whilst still delivering the full range of modern capability effects.” Mr Power said.

JTAC-E Instructor and SOF Joint Fires Specialist for the concentration period, Mr Teddy Pernal commented “What I liked most about FiresFST software was how easy it was for the support staff to teach the JTAC Instructors from USASOC, USSOCOM and RAAF 4 Squadron.”

“The ability to take JTAC Instructors and pilots from different units and nations, then train them on a new software they have never used while maintaining training standards in such a rapid time does not happen as easily as it did during this Mobile Training Team. I will continue to use FiresFST from SimCentric as it provides a strong effective standardized approach to combined arms training while making it easy to use for any training instructor or facilitator that sits behind it.” Mr Pernal said.
